    Driving a manual is like fly fishing, a auto is like bait casting

    I drive both on and off and i fish both with fly and bait. When I'm asked what it's like I give that comparison.

    Anyone have any experience with Baofeng BF-F8HP

    Do you need a license? No. Just get a band plan and stay on fms freqs. Program them with chirp and get a real prolific chip programming cable. Can you listen to ham freqs? Yes you can also talk on them and repeaters in a emergency. Now that being said you should attempt to get a ham license...

    Big bear march 19. Wheeling alone but not really.

    Heading up to big bear California. March 19. Maybe dishpan or others. Going alone but as we all know these trails are never empty. If I break down anyone I'm more than welcome to come laugh at me.

    4.56 or 4.88 gears?

    I have 456 and hate them. I was wheeling 33s on 307 they weren't the best but I could do 70 on flat ground. Now I'm stuck at 60 and the engine is screaming. To add insult to injury I have 6 nearly new 33s I have to wear out before I can go larger. I guess it just depends how far you drive to wheel.

    It was more like what TJ didn't do today. And that is not drip oil on my driveway. I spent all weekend replacing my valve cover, oil pan, rear main and rear transfercase output shaft seal
